Would the Trimaster or Woodmaster also be suitable for softwoods? I'm preparing to build a coldmolded 20' sailboat that is constructed with 3 layers of 3/16" CVG Western Red Cedar veneers. There...
Peter, I'm in a similar situation as yourself looking for a sailboat design of around 20'. Like you, I find the O'Day boat is indeed attractive. A neighbor owned one - it performed well in most all...
I built a teardrop based on the profile of a '47 Kenskil. It is approximately 5 x 10'. The walls are a sandwich of 6 oz. glass and epoxy over 1/4" western red cedar; doug fir studs with extruded...

It is getting close to launch time, perhaps this coming weekend. We were going to purchase a new 20 hp motor. However, we found a used 15 hp Honda that was half...
I fell into that psychological trap. On Sept. 20th I ordered a G0634Z. I dutifully called after reaching each predicted arrival date only to receive another push out of 4-6 weeks. As the months...
Glenn - My wife selected the same deck design for her King. Joe Greenley of Redfish Kayaks sold us plans for the King that were reduced to 7/8 of the origninal design. She is 5'1" and it fits her...
At long last I have a 12" jointer-planer. Five guys were able to get it off the trailer and into place with moderate effort. We utilized two long webbing straps going under the tool with a man on...

I've been installing the interior bits. The fairing is almost done thank goodness. Progress has been slowed by a complete tablesaw failure. I had to rip it apart to replace...

Tedious and slow. That's the only way to describe the taping. The schedule is 4" 12 oz. biaxial tape followed by a 6" layer. The whole thing is then covered in 6 oz. cloth. ...

The white oak gunwales are attached and sealed with epoxy. I have used QSWO for the keel and gunwales that is leftover from building a kitchen. It would be my choice to paint the gunwales and...
John - I'm getting the brass half oval from Jamestown Distributors. It comes in 6' and 12' lengths and in the 1/2" width it can be rolled. As such, there is no extra shipping charge. They also...
I've gone through a lot of epoxy in the last few weeks. Briefly, all the seams were reinforced with 9 oz. 6" tape, then entire hull was covered with 6 oz. cloth. I chose 50" wide fabric where 2...
Rob your question about the ply keyed right on what I consider a deviation from my previous boat projects where I've used higher quality Occume or Sapeli. I selected 9mm Marine Sandeply from...
Twisting the final wire stitch marked a small milestone in building a utility skiff. She is a Candlefish 16 by Sam Devlin and will be a gift to my son. A 20 hp Honda motor will drive her. My son will...
